A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.69

Accepted Name

Lavandulyl diphosphate synthase.

Alternative Name(s)

FDS-5.

Reaction catalysed

2 dimethylallyl diphosphate <=> diphosphate + lavandulyl diphosphate

Comment(s)

Lavandulyl diphosphate is a monoterpene with a non-head-to-tail
linkage; it is unlike most monoterpenoids, which are derived from
geranyl diphosphate and have isoprene units that are linked head-
to-tail.

When this enzyme is incubated with dimethylallyl diphosphate and
isopentenyl diphosphate, it also forms the regular monoterpene
geranyl diphosphate.
